His debuts include the First Night of the Proms performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Leonard Slatkin.
As a special celebration of 40 years of classical music at the Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage Choral Society and Stevenage Symphony Orchestra will also be performing the profoundly moving and inspiring Dona Nobis Pacem by the great 20th century English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The orchestra will perform more of Vaughan Williams's music with "English Folk Song Suite", and Khachaturian's Adagio from Spartacus, well known as the theme from ‘The Onedin Line’.
